Actually, Bill is correct in saying that it varies by ship within each line. The only Princess ships that have exposed or partially exposed balcones on the side of the ship are MV Grand Princess, MV Golden Princess, and MV Star Princess -- and even on those ships, the balconies on the Caribe, Dolphin, and Emerald decks are exposed or partially exposed to view from above while the balconies on the Lido, Aloha, and Baja decks are not.
